Development

In 2018, after two years of flight tests, the German RED engine selection is questioned as relations between Moscow and the West are chilling. Russian alternatives, like the VMZ M-9F piston or Klimov VK-800 turboshaft engines, would require large adaptations.[5]The Hongdu Yakovlev CJ-7 is a further development with the russian Vedeneyev M14X Engine.
